The good thing about Uber is, it is knocking some weak or poorly managed companies out of the business and making the rest step up, treat their customers better, and pursue new markets.

Meanwhile, Uber treats their drivers horribly - worse even than the crap cab company I drove with when I first started.

In any case, I hope and believe Sen Sanders can and will address the issues in the livery industry (conventional AND rideshare) when he is elected.
